Photographer’s Note
A man inside Gurdwara Bangla Sahib, the beautiful Sikh temple in Delhi,he was sitting beside the Holi Water Pool, I requested his permission to take him a photo , and he responded "Yes, but I will not smile".
There's an interesting anecdote about the relevance of the holy water here. There was a smallpox and cholera epidemic in the city and Guru Har Krishan started giving fresh water from the well in this house to those who were suffering. Since then, Bangla Sahib's water is revered for its healing properties by Sikhs across the globe.
